SMS notifications do not work while viewing - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I'm in the messaging app viewing a message from someone, if that same person then sends me another message, there is no notification sound. If I happen to be looking away from the screen I might miss it. Is this normal?

Wake on SMS Receipt

This question is quick, and it's strange that I haven't found an answer to it in my searches, but anyways:
How can I make my screen turn on, instead of just buttons (In Assonance ROM 5.2) when I receive a text message?
Regards
Smith
I don't use stock messaging stoop but it seems like I have read about people using an app called sms popup to activate screen when a text comes in....assuming of course you just want it to come on for a brief time.
3rd party messaging apps like handcent have this built in.

Contact name in each text message?

New galaxy note owner here, I noticed while sending a text in the stock messaging app it has "Me:" on every message I send. It also has the contact's name to each incoming message. Is there any way to take this off?

I would take a look in the settings, its been awhile but I don't recall seeing an option to do so.

20-30 second delay in text notifications

Thread title says it all. All other notifications are working as they should on the Gear, with just a slight delay behind the notification on my stock Note 2. Notifications for text messages, however, take considerably longer (I've never timed them, but I'm guessing it's about 20 to 30 seconds). Save for a brief flirtation with Hangouts as the SMS app, I've never used anything other than Sammy's messaging app. Anyone else have the same problem and know of a fix?
Probably because when you receive a text message the screen turns on and the gear won't receive the message till the phone screen turns off..

Oh, kee-rist, yes, I have a pop up notifier that I only use with SMS, and it has a setting to wake on notification and not time out the screen for, yes, 20 seconds. Many thanks.

[Q] Can the Gear get notifications from 3rd party SMS apps?

Or do I NEED to use the TouchWiz messaging app? Because I use EvolveSMS, so i was wondering if I'd still receive text message notifications on the Gear? Thanks.
Was gonna buy one today, but I saw online that the Galaxy Gear 2 is dropping in a couple of weeks with the S5! So I'll probably just wait for the Gear 2. But still wondering this question... thanks to anyone that ca help!
I use EvolveSMS and the notifactions work I can even read them just can't respond with the gear or S Voice just open on phone to respond

That kinda really sucks lol. That's the whole point to be able to respond too!
You could always send through the stock messaging app but personally i don't like S Voice kind of slow and the sound is always broke up compared to Google voice

What else can you do thru the Gear, rather than using your phone? I know you can make/accept/deny calls... but what else?! Can I, let's say, send a tweet?

I can send a tweet from mine. Although a bit of a different topic...I can also start my car from mine (directed smart start), control my thermostat at home (Nest), watch live TV (Slingplayer), get emails, check sportscenter app, sign into bank app, check fandango etc. You can do just about anything with it. Granted some things might not be as practical as when done on your phone but can be convenient on the gear in certain situations.
Oh... And I get my text notification via Handcent sent to my gear but as mentioned before I can't reply directly from that notification. I usually just send a text command through s voice to respond.

That's F'ING SICK!!! Can't wait, I'm 100% getting the Gear 2 when it comes out, I'm so excited. But what do you mean by your last statement "I usually just send a text command through s voice to respond."??
I get my text notifications through Handcent but you can't type a response or a pre typed response from that message view. I just activate s voice on the gear and say "text whomever". The gear will process that and respond with "whats your message?" I speak my message, it responds by showing a printed version of what I said and asks to confirm if I want to send it. I say yes and it sends the text.
Oh and for most of the other things I mentioned above, the gear of course requires Internet access via blue tooth tethering. Easily doable though.

Yeah I figured that. Can't wait for the Gear 2! Thanks for the info!
How is it that you can respond to texts through S Voice i deleted the stock messaging app and use EvolveSMS but can't respond with it
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
It isn't a "direct" response per se but when I use s voice to send a text back to the person that texted me it sends it and it falls in line with the rest of the conversation in Handcent. If that makes sense.

To me it sound like you are sending through the stock app but prefer to use handcent do you still have the stock app on your phone..
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
Yeah, I still have the stock messaging app.

I use GoSMS, but whenever I get MMS I open up the stock messaging app (so I can respond while watching the video). Any messages sent/received go to both Messaging and GoSMS, so if I were to use a gear, I imagine I would get notifications on the gear through GoSMS and then just use S Voice to respond (through Messaging). When I go on my phone later, both SMS apps would still have the entire conversation.
Problem is what about when/if your phone is running KitKat and you can only run 1 messaging app....?!

Vibration after sending text, whatsapp or making a call

Couple of weeks ago, my phone started to vibrate after I send a text, whatsapp message or make a phone call (when it gets hung up). I will send the message, and it will then vibrate, as if to give notifications that one has been sent. Just to be clear, this is not the vibrate notification when I receive a new message
Anybody have any ideas?

Try looking into notifications for each app and see if the option for sent sound like the default email app shown in the screenshot.
Cheers!
Edit: wrong screenshot it's before that screen "Send status".
